Böcker av Samuel S. Hill

In 1966, Samuel Hill's Southern Churches in Crisis argued that southern Protestantism, a cornerstone of white southern society and culture, was shirking its moral duty by refusing to join in the fight for racial justice. His landmark work now returns to print updated and expanded - and compellingly relevant.

With a title that references the Biblical description of peace and prosperity, this book examines attitudes of Southern Baptists (and their domination and convention) toward the profound social, moral, economic and political changes the South faced in the post-Civil War era.
